I learned this morning of Kathy's passing and wanted you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. She was indeed a very special person. I will miss her loving and generous spirit and her contagious laugh...

Dear Allshouse family,
I am so sorry to hear of Kathy's passing. You are all in my thoughts as you go through this difficult time.

Kathleen will be missed at PwC -- we didn't work together daily but I frequently enjoyed some quick banter with her and deeply appreciated Kathleen's sharp wit, which was sometimes disguised as sarcastic commentary. I was sorry not to make the services, but my prayers are with you all -- she was a special lady.

Your sorrow and loss are in the thoughts and prayers of the Sisters of Saint Joseph. Tragedies in families as difficult as they may be, through prayer bring us a glimmer of hope in the hereafter, where we will once again be all together.
